Not a filibuster, there's not a bill in question or a confirmation on the line. He's just holding the floor. I applaud the effort and certainly the message, I'm just not sure why he's doing it now instead of you know when it counted.

I think everything you quoted there would accurately describe influencers being paid to play a game. As to whether you believe me or not, don't really care. Why you keep digging this hole for no reason whatsoever seems rather odd to me, as does being so unnecessarily hostile for no reason. Have a good one.

Well I've certainly never heard that before and that's not what the definition of the word is from what I'm seeing but I guess I can understand using that as a distinction.

Isn't it though? They're being paid to promote a game right? That seems like a shill to me. I'm not sure I understand the difference to you.

Remember nothing about this will be a fair trial. This is going to be the most cooked trial you've ever seen in your life. Jurors will be downright threatened if not bribed.

What a terrible argument that is, particularly in regards to elected officials.

Your argument is literally an appeal to Authority.

There's a level of servility in this comment that is just downright distasteful.

That's a bold claim.

They were actually multiple world Wars pre 20th century.

Man uniting East Asia is something I didn't think that would happen in my lifetime, at least not peacefully.

Maybe 15 to 25% tops.

The AfD is in bed with Russia though.

I mean the track record is pretty good as long as you don't just stop at the 20th century.

I think you skipped over a comment in that chain.

Stole. Not withheld but stole.

No that's just a lie you've been sold. The behavior still matches. That's what the last 40 years have been. The neoliberal Takeover of the Democratic Party. I mean you really look at Chuck Schumer and think that labels no longer accurate? Really?

No that's the actual definition of the word liberal. We got 300 plus years of liberal history to point to. It's always the same song and dance. Nothing matters more than private property and Law and Order to a liberal. Everything else will be thrown away in favor of those two things. Every. Single. Time.

Hell it's the original sin of our nation. The great liberal thinkers of the American Revolution. Jefferson and Madison and all the rest. What happened when it came time to fulfill their ideals? What happened when it came time to treat all men equal? Oh we can't have that if we free the slaves we would be upsetting the order of things and depriving men of their private property. Once you understand that complete and utter Ironclad rule of liberal ideology you'll understand how the last 300 plus years of human history have played out.

That's the Mantra of a liberal I've ever heard one
